RE: "Listen Up!" song previews now on iTunes! - Flask Man - 05-08-2012
SUMMARY: I know it's only snippets, but from what I heard this looks like an outstanding 1st album for Haley. I'm especially impressed with the writing depth she displayed for such a young artist. There's still room for her to grow and develop, and I'd love for her next album to incorporate more of the blues/jazz style she's so gifted in, but it's hard not to come away impressed with her after this. Well done, Haley!!

Quote:OMG BUZZZZZZZZZZZZ LMFAOOO!!!!! now let me tell you why.....you know those people at Costco that prepare those samples and hand em out........I am one of those people!At least I know I'm not the only one not doing the previews...since everyone on twitter is going crazy over them and I kinda feel left out even though I really want to wait for the whole cdI have worked for Club Demonstration Services for about 4 1/2 years now. I love what I do and I agree about the sampling and why it works (many of my Costco purchases have been based on those samples). However, since I am already excited to hear all of Haleys album and deep down inside I know I will LOVE IT, I want to "experience" the whole thing in one sitting! Kinda like a big ol' lobster tail and filet mignon, I know I love em, but I would be unhappy with just a little taste. I want to be able to savor it and totally enjoy the experience. I do agree it will hopefully bring new people into "Haleyworld" but for me it is a choice I made many long months ago and as tempting as it is I will wait another 2 weeks......and dammit......now you got me hungry for enchiladas.....THANKS BUZZ

i love it
Yes, this whole "speed dating" with different producers has given us a lot of variety, yet one thing remains the same...the versatility of Haley.

Another example of retro with a new twist. I love the Haley "wail" in this song. She always brings home the chorus...I love it...the perfect example of Haley Soul.

It's very original and interesting sounding. I would be shocked if this album doesn't make waves as the most original debut by an Idol artist yet.
LOVE IT!
Couldn't agree more. Even in my total Haleyenized state I can see the quality of this album and the impact it should have. In 90 seconds one can get a good feel for each song and the overall quality of the album. It is interesting how good the studio versions are of the promotional performances we have already heard. 'Hit the Ground Runnin' has a different little twist to it.

Musically a success IMO; no telling what the masses taste is like as we have all learned. The reggae tune is great, and I like them all. Hard for me to say which is a favorite which says its a strong compilation. Way to go Haley and thank you from your fans. Hope there is commercial success and grammys attached!
Hey, signed CDs apparently still available - - - on EBAY, bidding starting at $99.95!
I like them all, and it would be hard to tell which ones will be more successful for the masses. I really think Haley will be proven correct to have taken her time on this first album. She has built a very fanatical base of support. This album will embolden the core fan group and attract a lot of non-idol fans.

I think there are several cuts that could be released as the next single and I agree that NTYH would be a good choice. While maybe not a summer song, I think Undone is a really good tune. Oh My is cool -- a song that can grow on you. I love the crazy sax, although the B.o.B. rap seems weak to me. I love her voice on Liar.
Although Spider Web does not jibe with my expectations I really like the bonus songs. There really is no place for the "regular" album -- it's not the kind of thing that any true Haley fan would purchase.
I love the crazy sax too...but that's a whole nother thread.
I can't imagine how they were able to cut it down to 10 songs on the basic album when she had these 4 other songs too ('What You Don't Know is stunning on first through multiple listens). Makes you wonder how many more excellent songs she still has out there, considering she recorded about 30?
Overall, I am completely stunned by the album. Haley delivers another knock out...did we ever doubt her ability?

Listening to follow me I'm right behind you has some similarities to a song that was written by Shawn Colvin, the name of the song was( Sunny came home) it's kind of a dark tune.
BTW VLC media player really works the best of all.

Man has today been terriffic! I spent 3 hours just listening to those 14 1:30 previews on Itunes. I just didn't want to go do anything else but enjoy each and everyone of these great tracks over and over! The more listens the more they all start becoming their own.. I can just imagine Haley on stage or in a video knocking out Spiderweb! Also loving Keep Coming Back in the new group. I'm not a rap fan but am incredibly anxious to get the entire version of Oh MY. It's really growing on me, especially as I am assuming that if it shows anything positive, that it will probably become a major video.
I'm honestly feeling like I love ALL of them and I'm really proud of Haley's 1st album. Cannot wait for my delux edition to arrive!
Hell, after the ballgame tonight I think I'll just continue listening to them all again over and over.. woo woo! I have nothing but positives to comment on each of them.. Rock On Haley!

@HaleyReinhart Mom constantly discussed Spider's at our lunches. And we both kept it underwraps.
